Former reality TV star joins Trump administration official to blast Newsom, Bass over wildfire response

On Wednesday, Pratt joined U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler and local business owner Luke Melchior for a news conference and tour of a destroyed property in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. The site's rebuild permit has been pending for five months since the Palisades and Eaton fires that destroyed an estimated 16,000 structures in January.

"When people are like, 'How do you feel about Republican senators opening a congressional investigation into the Palisades?' I'm just happy anyone is investigating why the people who paid almost $700,000,000 in taxes, to these people who are employees, aren't being questioned in front of every judge, jury, investigator, cop, sheriff, detective," Pratt said.

"No Democratic senator asked me to tour my parents' burned-out lot, all my friends' and neighborhoods' burned-out lots. So, if they had, I would've gone to Washington with them," he added.

She said homeowners and businesses have been unable to rebuild because of "red tape imposed by California bureaucrats" despite $3.2 billion in federal aid distributed by the SBA alone.

Loeffler said the Trump administration has offered support to the victims of the wildfires since President Donald Trump's first week of his second term, when he met with local officials.

The "Hills" alums filed the suit Jan. 21 along with 20 other property owners, blaming the city and the utility company for the damage.

In response to Fox News Digital's request for comment, a spokesperson from Newsom's office pointed the finger back at the Trump administration and dismissed Loeffler's visit as a "photo op."

"If she wants to actually help, she could start by speeding up loan approvals, fighting for real congressional dollars and explaining why the Economic Injury Disaster Loans feel less 'express' and more like waiting for the next ice age. Until then, Angelenos will just have to make do with lots of reassurances, photo ops from Loeffler and, maybe, just maybe, some thoughts and prayers," the spokesperson said.

Bass' office did not return a request for comment.
